I do. I like Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, the small cookies one, Fruit Loops, cinnamon squares....

Do you like bagels?

No. Can't eat grains.

Do you enjoy the sound a waterfall or ocean tides crashing against the beach?

Ocean waves have a nicer sound, though waterfalls look neater.


Isn't it strange how employers seem to try and make their workers behave like ESFJs? It sucks to be an INTJ at places in my opinion anyway. But to clarify, it's that they want people to be super hyper friendly, maxing out valuing social harmony and being super extraverted, but also duty bound and willing to follow any rule and order. Isn't that basically what they want everyone to be?

Well...those do sound like good employee traits. I mean, wouldnt you want someone you hired to be social, friendly, and obedient? Depending on the job, those are probably all good things to be when at work. But every type of personality if capable of acting like that. (Im INTP, but I can be pretty convincingly not when I need to)

Do you have regular nightmares? Or are your dreams pretty chill

Lately my dreams have been somewhat disturbing. I have dreamed about things I worry about in my waking life.

Same q.

I don't remember dreams very often anymore. When I was a kid I had regular nightmares and paralyzing night terrors. Now they're pretty benign.

I love that my kids either have never had a nightmare or have never been woken up by one.

Same q

It depends.
Sometimes I have nightmares.
Sometimes I have dreams.

Do you have a song you totally relate to?

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home

I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
But it's all right, it's all right
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
we're travelling on
I wonder what went wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong

I relate to every word ever written by SG, but today this song seems the most relevant.

Other very meaningful SG songs are The Sound of Silence, Kathy's Song, Patterns and I Am a Rock.

same q

Yes. The Lotus Eaters by Dead Can Dance.

Unintelligible sound of longing and caring. I see it as patient progression of a type of duality.

Same question.

I'll add "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" by Elton John as a highly relatable song.

Do you write notes or marginalia, or highlight passages inside the books you read for pleasure? (Not school books).

Yes

For those of you who have pets, what is the oddest food, usually meant for people, you have ever seen them eat?

My cats both loved toast.

same q

Boo likes cheese and popcorn. Our old cat Monkey Pi used to eat eggs and cantalope.

same question

My cat, Samantha (1979-1999), used to love butter.

Same q.

My cat Minney, passed now, used to lick yogurt out of the little container it was in and got her face stuck in it. So, she'd walk around with it stuck to her face till it fell off.

It's not unusual to eat yogurt, but that's a fun memory of her.

What's a fun memory you have of a pet if you had or have one?

Speaking as someone who isn't too fond of pets b/c of the *responsibilities* in taking care of them irregardless of 'cuteness', I think I am still able to say at least a few. I remember budgies landing around me including on my shoulder (I think) while I was reading out loud.

How do you know that the amount of attention you have been paying something has been 'good enough'?.
